I've been perusing 'that internet auction site' & there's quite a tidy third pattern Aldis sniper scope on there (.co.uk) at present. Thought it might be of interest to anyone looking to build up a SMLE sniper. It's not cheap but looks a nice example. (No, it's not mine!).
I took a look but no Aldiss scope at all on fleabay.co.uk
It was there yesterday with 'Best Offer', presumably sold and withdrawn
WW1 Aldis Pattern No.3 Sniper Scope for SMLE .303 | eBay
It is now in the completed listings. It sold at 25 Jan, 2019 23:35:49 GMT .
If someone missed it and is looking for something else instead, a No. 32 Mk.3 scope is now listed on eBay.co.uk, see auction ID 192801307558.
Aw Shucks!:rolleyes:
I however don't know if I could recommend the seller of the No. 32 Mk.3 to you Roger Payne :madsmile:
I know that Mk.3 because it came with the first rifle I ever owned: N3223-, mismatched, but shot like a hot damn as they say. Can't remember what we traded for it Roger, but it was before 2003 IIRC.
Are you sure Rob? I plucked it from among the Indian batch. However, me being as scatterbrained as I am it's entirely possible I got it mixed up with them......my memory has never been good & it certainly ain't improving with age! As I recall it was largely complete save for most of the lenses & one or two minor internals. You might be interested to know it has gone to a good home 'back' in Canada, although not quite so far West as you!
Am now just about to start on another 'old' one of yours, a Kodak, for a distinguished fellow forummer.;)
My memory is as good as yours! ;)
